On June 18, 2023, a tragedy that shocked the world unfolded on the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The "Titan" deep submersible manufactured by the "Ocean Gate" exploration company suffered a catastrophic implosion during the mission to investigate the wreck of the Titanic, resulting in the death of all five people in the submarine. The company's CEO, Stockton Rush, was also killed in the accident.
Recently, a showrunner found a video of Rush being interviewed by the Canadian radio show "Radio St. John's" a few weeks before his departure.
*, he jokingly said, "What could go wrong?" ”
Every year in June, the waters around the wreck of the Titanic are "calmest", so this time is the best time to depart.
In addition, with the Polar Prince (the ship carrying the submersible to sea) and its ice-breaking capabilities, we have advanced our mission a little earlier this year. ”
We designed the submersible specifically for this mission," he added.
However, it was his arrogance and conceit that eventually brought the "Titan" deep submersible to a tragic end. Six days later, rescuers found the wreckage of the tail vertebrae of the "Titan" deep submersible less than 500 meters away from the wreckage of the Titanic.
